When you make changes like this, you need to worry about back-compat
issues. Remember, older versions of libvirt did not have
virDomainMigreateToURI2, so you may be effectively turning the old
migrateToURI(4-args) into a call to a new API, which will break when
targetting older libvirt, whereas if you kept it as a call to the older
libvirt.virDomainMigrateToURI, the older libvirt can still do the
migration.
I already checked this. (Wido, it would have been nice if you said
when this libvirt function came into existence, so review would have
been easier.)
Sorry for that. Thanks for all the feedback you gave, I'll work on a new
set of patches which addresses all these points.
Currently, libvirt 0.9.12 is required by libvirt-java evidenced by
this line in build.properties:
libvirt.required=0.9.12
virDomainMigreateToURI2 was introduced in libvirt 0.9.2.
There may be more patches like this in your series, but in
general, you should favor forwarding calls to the older API, not the
newer API, so that the clients will work against as many libvirt
versions as possible.
OK, this makes sense. But where do we draw the line?
Indeed. I looked the same up and thought that it should work due to that
requirement.
